Tawny fish owl #2


Another pose of the beauty

Monday, August 23, 2010


The Tawny Fish-owl, Bubo flavipes, is a species of owl. It used to be placed in Ketupa with the other fish-owls, but that group is tentatively included with the eagle-owls in Bubo, until the affiliations of the fish-owls and fishing-owls can be resolved more precisely.

This typical owl is found in temperate forests in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Taiwan, and Vietnam. It eats fish and small mammals such as moles, and particularly rodents like mice, voles and rats.
